This is a total tell that fitness culture is not about health because the healthy thing to do is actually not to exercise outside right now.

Guy who has lived in NYC for two years eagerly saving pictures of the smoke-covered skyline so next year when some other place has an air quality crises he can make a condescending post with the pictures and the phrase “You’ll live.”

Air quality in NYC deteriorating at a rapid rate. Already double last night’s peak and still climbing. AQI is now more than double the highest level of heath hazard on fed gov’t scale. ** please exercise caution **

is here to answer an age-old question: Why is there a horse in the toilet?

There's a good reason why so many adults are scared of clowns

The strongest factor the researchers found causing people’s fear of clowns was that a clown’s makeup keeps people guessing at what their actual intentions are.

People are disruptive on public transit all the fucking time and we manage not to *choke them to death* because there are a million other options for de-escalating or avoiding the situation. The idea that riders had no other option in Neely's case is insulting.

pay writers a livable wage or your kids will write even freakier fanfiction

the last writer's strike was really formative for me because it made my favorite show (Heroes) go completely off the rails but I stayed 100% committed as a fan because I'd imprinted on Zachary Quinto like a baby duck and I don't think a 15 year old brain comes back from that

The victim narrative is a favourite trope when discussing women in STEM (also, it's preferable if they are super women who are also now dead). It's also a reality for women in STEM. But it doesn't really apply in Franklin's case
